All the 3's

Hi there,
Hope you're well. Just a quick post from the not so sunny Isle of Man.
That's right, it's raining again.  Good job I've lots to keep me busy inside. In fact, where has this morning gone! Not that I've spent much time in my craft room - Mr Grey has a lot to answer for!!

I have got my Less is More entry to show you though.
It's ONE LAYER Week (yeah!) and the recipe is .....


That's three of anything - three colours, three stamps, three words, the number three ...... you get the idea.  We still have to keep it clean and simple, lots of white space and of course just the one layer - simples!

Here's mine ..... it's full of 3's



I used the Penny Black 'quite dandy' stamp (3 flowers)
Using a mask, I inked circles around each flower head with 3 different Distress Inks - Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick and the new Picked Raspberry  (3 circles & 3 colours)
Added a Hero Arts sentiment (3 words)
And the final little touch was a tiny gemstone in the centre of each flower (3 gems).

I think I've managed to keep to the recipe don't you.

Must dash, hubby's off across to the UK later (sigh!)  I'd better check that he's got everything packed and ready to go.  Where would he be without me!

Thanks for looking.

Bye for now

Linda

Beautiful again Linda, 3 suits you 3 suits you 3 suits you sorry!!! couldn't resist. The pinky circles in the different tones a simple yet verrry effective touch.
I've not been doin much on my blog of late but, I do love to keep up with all the DT'ers I can and love to visit your blog when you post to look at your beautiful designs. Even when I'm snowed under I lurk [bless me] on a daily basis, which really isn't fair as I know comments are really appreciated. But lurking is so quick, like FB.
Sorry to blah!!!, blah!!!, blah!!! on Kxoxo

I have a 'thing' about dandelions (not the real ones cos they invade my flower beds!! LOL) - thought I possessed every dandelion stamp known to man - but this is one I haven't got and now have to have!
I like this very much, and the pinky shades are gorgeous!
